Can you be fired for posting about Gaza?

There’s been a bit going on in the world of media in Australia. Just last week, a court case began over the ABC’s sacking of high-profile presenter Antoinette Lattouf, while in another case, cricket commentator Peter Lalor was told to back his bags by a commercial radio station. And the drama is all over what they had posted on social media about the war in Gaza. But what do these cases mean for everyone else?
